Why doesn't this anonymous person list it for auction as is or simply name a price. I would not be shocked if they think they are sitting on a goldmine when really they are not...
His name is Paul, he lives in Sydney, his name didn't seem relevant to the conversation.
I've suggested the same (ebay) and as he has no idea what to ask he hasn't any clue about naming a price. I really don't think he thinks he is sitting on a goldmine, and he only contacted me to see if I did after he found me online via Larry and Sergey's website. I've done my best to help him but I've already explained the problem due to its condition.
All I did was offer to see if anyone was interested within the poster collecting community - I've not offered to buy it or take a commission. I've passed on the only offer to date (which was Matt's)
If this is the case then his best avenue is an auction. Let the market decide
The best person for this job would have been the late great restorer Igor Edelman. It was a true artist, in both watercolor and oil paint.
